Portrait of Albert Christoph Reindel

In this portrait of his teacher at the Nuremberg Kunstakademie, Johann Dietrich Carl Kreul portrayed the dual nature of Reindel's enthusiasm for art. Here the educator is shown with a plaster cast of the "Borghese Gladiator" and a classical male bust from the art school's collection, along with his own drawing for the Schöner Brunnen, highlighting his importance as an initiator and supervisor of the restoration of this medieval masterpiece.
